ment and scoring systems used on the range. AFI 13-212 is in three volumes: Volume 1, Range Planning
and Operations; Volume 2, Range Construction and Maintenance; and Volume 3, SAFE-RANGE Pro-
gram Methodology. This publication is influenced by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1974 as amended

management and provides clearer guidance on roles and responsibilities in the management of Air Force
range operations. The following important changes are added: Equipment used for range maintenance and
clearance/decontamination; and Equipment used for Electronic Combat Ranges (ECR)/Electronic Scor-
ing Sites (ESS).
